NOVEMBER 30, 1861.—Skirmish near mouth of Little Cacapon River, West Virginia.

Report of Brig. Gen. B. F. Kelley, U. S. Army.

ROMNEY, VA., November 30, 1861—11 p. m.

Nothing new to-night except bushwhackers captured 6 of our horses and wounded 3 men to-day. Teams were out on river road south of town after hay. But to offset that, Captain Dyche’s met party of secesh near mouth of Little Cacapon and captured 4 horses, saddles and bridles, one a field officer’s. Little Cacapon Bridge will be done to-morrow morning.
